Ol'R NAVY'S NEW QI'EHN. The Alabama's tin mi ill cent Speed on Her (Mlieial Trial Trip. Boston, Aug. 29.—There is a new queen of the American navy, the Uni ted States battleship Alabama, which yesterday won the title in one of the most magnificent speed trials yet held in the history of the navy. Her aver- j age speed for four hours' continuous Rteaming was 17 knots, a figure not quite as hich as that made by the lowa, but notable from the fact that it gave t an idea of the yet undeveloped power in this latest product of American j shipbuilders. The Alabama was built by the Cramps at Philadelphia, and while of the first class she is unlike , any of I he enrli&r creations both archi- j teoturally and as a lighting machine. Built under a contract that required at , least an average speed of 10 knots per i hour, she has been turned out to d: 17 ! k:.ots or better under conditions that will not be termed extra. The lowa, when she left the builders' hands in 1897, was officially recorded at 17.04. Her speed trial was made under the very bept possible conditions, j After a lap.ie of more than two years the Kentucky, on Sept. 24. and the Kearsarge, two months later, came to j the New England coast and under fa- | vorable but not extraordinary condl- 1 tions made fkmros of l<i.Bl and lfi.Bo knots respectively. Those figures have now been toa'cn by a narrow margin, | to be sure, but the Alabama apparently j was not made to do but little beyond her mean speed. One M:iii mid Another llnil Hi* Skull FriiftiiriMl. MeKeesport, Pa., Aug." 28.—A 15 j minutes general rough house held sway 1 on the excursion boat Annie Roberts ' last night while returning from a trip up the Monongahela river. At the end of the 15 minutes the boat presented an appearance of having gone through a riot, bullet holes showing upon much of the woodwork, and the decks of the boat being bespattered with blood. As a result of the fight one mnn is sup posed to be drowned, one is in the MeKeesport hospital suffering from having his head battered with an ax, and two more are in the MeKeesport lockup. The trouble occurred during an excursion said to have been given by the colored Knights of Pythias of the Monongahela valley. The boat had made a trip to near Elizabeth, and was returning, when a dispute arose between Thomas Alexander and John W. Winn from their Jealousy of a mulatto woman named Belle Rob inson, of Pittsburg. Alexander drew a revolver and commenced firing, one of the shots striking Winn in the fleshy part of the right leg. The friends of the participants gathered around and took sides. A friend of Winn picked up an ax and dealt Alex ander a blow on the head, felling him like an ox and probably fracturing his skull. The crowd was now surging around the boat to get a better point of view when an unknown man was pushed from the boat and drowned. Drouncd Inn linthtuli. Portsmouth, N.

HE DECLARED HIS INNOCENCE. Willow llhil lleen nobbeil nml llie Smpprt Wim DraesPil at Hope'* End l>> Thirty Men, Who Failed to Make tllni Aeknowledise the Crime. Williamsport, Pa., Aug. 25. —Mrs. Wiliam Spencer, a widow, living in Union township, midway between Can ton and Ogdensburg was robbed about two weeks ago of $135 in cash. The house was entered at midnight and at the point of a revolver the lone widow was forced to tell where she kept her savings. The treasure consisted of two fifty and seven five dollar bills which she kept secreted in a bureau drawer. William Leonard, a farm hand, was suspected as being the robber. Leon ard worked for a farmer whose land adjoins Mrs. Spencer's farm. Wednes day night a mob of 30 men. heavily masked, went to the residence of Leon ard, battered down the door with the end of a rail, dragged Leonard from bed and after getting him outside a rope was fastened around his neck. Every one of the 30 men took hold of the rope and started on a run to a tree which was about 200 yards away. When the tree was reached Leonard was in bad shape. I lis body was cut and badly bruised, and the life was almost choked out of him. When he was sufficiently recovered he was accused of having stolen the $135 from the Widow Spen cer. He was informed that if he would tell where the money was concealed the lynchers would let him go unharmed, but if he did not confess they would linng him until dead. Leonard declared he was entirely innocent of the crime. His statement was not regarded as be ing the truth and instantly one end of the rope was thrown over a stout limb of the tree and the victim was jerked into the air. He was suspended for a short time, when he was lowered and given another chance to tell about the whreabouts of the money. Again he protested his innocence, and for a sec ond time he was lifted off his feet by the rope. Two more attempts to get him to confess that he took the money were unsucessful. The fourth time he was hanged Leonard was nearly strangled to death. He was notified to leave the state and was told that if ever he was caught in Bradford coun ty he would he killed. The news of the affair has excited the entire northern part of the state. rnator Will \il> l»c AjiiiinM Strike. Hazleton, Pa., Aug. 25.—Rev.

Chicago, Aug. 27. —Despite the rain, j which fell at times witli the energy of ! a stream from a garden hose and de generated periodically into a cold, soaking drizzle, the grand patriotic and sacred song service at the Coliseum last night was attended by a throng j which taxed the capacity of the im mense building to the utmost. The exercises began at 8 o'clock, and be tween that hour and 7 o'clock the side walks on Wabash avenue was impas sable for a block in both directions. A large detachment of police was on hand, and the officers had their hands more than full in handling the crowd. The jam in the doorways at 8 o'clock was terrific, and although none was injured many gowns and coats were badly wrecked. It is estimated that fully 13,000 people were packed into the hall, and thousands more were un able to gain admission. Bishop Samuel Fallows, of Chicago, who gained renown as a fighting man on the battlefield before he won dis tinction in the pulpit, and who is chairman of the encampment commit tee on religious exorcises, presided. On the platform with him was Mayor Harrison, Commander-in-Chief Shaw, of the G. A. R„ Rev. Thomas C. Iliff, of Salt Lake City, Utah; Gen. Daniel E. Sickles, Rev. E. G. Hirsch, of Chicago, and a host of department commanders of the G. A. It., as well as the local officials in charge of Chi cago's end of the encampment. After a musical selection had been rendered by the band, the vast audi ence joined in the Lord's Prayer, being led by Rev. Frank Gonsalus, and then Bishop Fallows extended a warm and eloquent welcome to the visiting vet erans. A responsive reading was led by Rev. J. I).

I). Wallace pronounced the benediction. Between the addresses musical num bers were given by the band of 100 pieces, and vocal selections were given by soloists, quartettes and the chorus. Railroad officials estimated that fully 75,000 people arrived during yes terday, of which number 18,000 were members of the G. A. R. Forty-five thousand strangers had arrived pre viously, over 11,000 of whom were vet erans, a total of 29.000 already in the city, and reports indicate that today's arrivals will swell the number to a record breaking totaL Unless the unexpected happens, it is probable that Major Leo Raisseur, of St. Louis, will be elected com mander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic for the coming year at the business session on Wednesday. Gen. John C. Black, of Illinois, who had been prominently mentioned for the office and who had developed con siderable strength among the veterans of the western and northwestern states, has declined to be a candidate. This appaintly leaves a clear field for Major liaisseur, as no other name has so l'ar been mentioned. The dedication of the naval arch at 9 o'clock this forenoon was followed by a parail of the naval veterans, a pa rade of gov rnnient vessels and private yachts on Lake Michigan and a naval battle <jY Linct ID Park.

Hanna has decided to take a hand in the Tennessee Republican fight be tween the Brownlow and the 11. Clay Evans factions, and settle it. In a letter written to A. J. Tyler, of Wash ington, Senator Hanna says: "The national committee has deem ed it advisable to say that we expect to sustain the organization which was recognized by the national committee at Philadelphia. We cannot see where any good can result from such an in dependent movement and sincerely trust that no loyal Republican will lend his influence to the movement." The Brownlow organization was the one recognized for the most part at Philadelphia. It is thought to be the chief aim of Senator Hanna to get but one set of electors in the field. Chairman Tipton, of the Evans state committee, was asked what effect Mark Hanna's letter would have. He re plied that it would have the same ef fect as shaking a red rag in the face of an angry bull. "We do not recognize Mr. Hanna as our boss, and we wear no man's col lar," said Mr. Tipton. "Our commit tee meets next Wednesday to organize for the fight, and if there are any members on it who do not want to fight they will be asked to step behind a tree and let the battle proceed. Ours is the regular ticket, and if Hanna does not know it it is because he has refused to investigate or listen to any one but Brownlow." l.iit lit niiiu Striken S;i inlay I'lenlcbera New Yoik, Aug. 27. —A very severe electrical storm possed over New York and vicinity yesterday afternoon, a number of houses being struck by lightning.

WHIPPED INTO INSENSIBILITY. The CoolneMH nail lletter Judgment of Kill Outgeneraled the Sailor, Who Seemetl to I.one All Control of Hiin ■elf— Hook on Jatv Hid Slim-key. New York, Aug. 25. —Whipped into insensibility in less than two rounds is the story In brief of Tom Sharkey's meeting with Hob Fitzsimmons at the Coney Island Sporting club last night. Fitzsimmons was the victor, Sharkey le loser. Fitzsimmons said all along lat when an opportunity presented self he would prove conclusively that o was Sharkey's superior, and settle ccounts for the injustice done him when he met Sharkey in California four years ago. Sharkey was equally confident that he would prove to be j Fitzsimmons' master in the ring, but i the result of the battle, and the brev- | ity of it, proved that Fitzsimmons is still a great fighter and able to beat the best of the heavyweights. He has beaten Corhett, Kuhlin and Sharkey. Fitzsimmons was a decided favorite in the betting, owing to his showing with Ruhlin a short time ago. When they met last night both of them declared themselves to be in first class condition and they certainly looked it. Fitzsimmons had taken on a few pounds in weight since his meet ing with Ruhlin, but neither he nor Sharkey would tell his actual weight, but Sharkey looked to be about 20 pounds the heavier. When the men came together Shar key assumed the aggressive, rushing fiercely and swinging wildly. Fitzsim mons had no difficulty in side stepping out of the way. Hob soon began feint ing Sharkey into leads and when the sailor tried his round arm blows he left himself open, of which Fitzsimmons was quick to take advantage, as he stepped inside and put powerful right and left smashes on the sailor's body and neck. He stabbed Sharkey with his left, making the sailor lose his temper, and then Sharkey rushed more wildly than before, missing most of the swings while Fitzsimmons was get ting to him with great force and using both hands. At the close of the round Sharkey, with a terrific left swing, which landed on shoulder and neck, put Fitzsimmons down to the floor of the ring and Tom fell over him in his mad rush. Tom re gained his feet quickly, but the bell rang with Fitzsimmons still on the floor. The spectators were cheering like wild men and when Fitzsimmons got to his feet the men shaped togo for -\aeli other, evidently not having heard he bell amid the uproar. The referee ashed between them, sending them to leir corners, and this is where Shar ey says he would have finished Fitz immons had he had ten seconds more. In the second round Sharkey, having gained confidence from his knocking Fitzsimmons down in the preceding round, went for his man as if to an nihilate liirn, but Fitzsimmons having the cooler head and better judgment outgeneraled the younger man, who seemed to lose all control of himself in his frantic endeavors to land on Fitz simmons. Fitzsimmons stepped in with a crushing right to the body and a ready left to the jaw while the best Sharkey could do was to swing a left, which landed in the middle of Fitz simmons' back. There was fearful force behind this blow, as Fitzsimmons said after the fißlit was over that he felt as if he had been hit with a pickax in the small of the hack. Fitzsimmons* coolness never forsook him. and he watched Sharkey's wild efforts with evident satisfaction, as the sailor was leaving himself very open. Fitzsimmons stepped into him and literally battered Sharkey down with rights on the body and lefts and rights on the head. Sharkey took the count and came up groggy. He stag gered hack to the ropes with Fitzsim mons hot after him. Sharkey was then unable to protect himself and Fitzsim mons sent that fearful right once more to the body, following up with right and left to the body. Sharkey wabbled but still had strength enough to keep his feet. Fitzsimmons stepped in again with another right on the body, fol lowing twice with rights and lefts on the head and finished his work and the fight with a stinging left hook on the jaw which sent Sharkey down and out. There was much delay before the big fellows made their appearance. Charley White, the chosen referee, re fused to officiate unless SSOO were guaranteed to him. When White finally gained his point it was thought that the fight would then goon, but Fitzsimmons and his manager insisted that the amount of the purse. $25,000, should be in sight before the lanky pugilist would enter the ring. About 6,000 persons witnessed the fight. I.nrtte I" re lull t Steamer Stranded.

The bubonic plague is child's play compar ed with it. The natives are dying like llies at the rate of 3,000 a week. The epidemic is undoubtedly due to the pollution of the scanty water supply during the famine." THE SOUTH CAROLINA CONTEST, j Clowe Hetivecn Frleti(l<t and Opponent** of I li€• ry. Columbia, S. C., Aug. 29. —The demo cratic primary in this state yesterday was attended by many surprises. The general election is a mere ratification of the primary, and all interest cen ters in the latter. The issue lias been dispensary or prohibition. Col. James A. Hoyt, of Greenville, was the Pro hibition nominee, and the dispensary was represented by Governor M. 15. McSweeney, F. li. Gary, speaker of the house of representatives, A. Howard Patterson and Rev. Walt Whitman. The latter has been a candidate lor office 18 years, and never elected. A canvass of the entire state was made, each of the 40 counties being visited. The Prohibitionists assailed the dispensary, and the champions o the dispensary fell out among them selves. Patterson vigorously attacked governor McSweeney, who became governor on the death of Governor Ellerbee. Senator Tillman, who claims pater nity for the dispensary, came into the campaign and fought Col. Hoyt. As a result of tliis interference Tillman's name has been scratched by 20,000 voters, although he has no opponent. Col. Hoyt, the Prohibition nominee, will probably lead McSweeney Ijy 10,- 000 votes. There will be a second pii mary on Sept. 11, and the issue be tween Hoyt and McSweeney will be close. THE KENTUCKY LEGISLATURE Will Probably Amend, lint Vol Re- | peal tlx* UiM'lit'l Election l.lliv. Frankfort, Ky., Aug. 29. —The Ken tucky legislature convened in extra session yesterday. There were seven absent in the house and two in the senate. In the senate Dyer succeeded Hill, deceased; Watkins succeeded Bell, deceased; Tolin succeeded Fur nish, resigned, and Harbeson succeed ed William Goebel, who was killed last January. Both houses adjourned af ter hearing read Governor Beckham's brief message, which stated that the only purpose for which the session was called was to amend the state election law. The message stated that the law was a good one, but that party and factional prejudice had been engen dered against it to such an extent that It was thought best to make changes before another election was held. The Republican minority will wait for the Democratic majority to take the initiative. It is the opinion here that a fair election law in the form of an amendment to the Goebel law will be passed. A vote on the repeal of the Goebel law would be close, and it is believed it would be lost. Onr Population Incrrnsr. Washington, Aug. 29. —The cities of the United States, so far as tho opnans office has yet given out the fir res, show a very healthy and satlsf " tory rate of Increase of population 'luring the past ten years.
